The candidate must complete the online application form and pay the $150 CAD registration fee on the Competition’s official website www.concoursmontreal.ca. To finalise the application, the candidate will also be asked to submit online the following documents (documents received by fax or email will be refused):

Four (4) good-quality videos, previously uploaded on YouTube.

Two (2) original (scanned) letters of recommendation in English or French OR the contact information of the referees who will email their recommendation directly to the Competition by the deadline at info@concoursmontreal.ca

NOTE: All letters must be addressed to the MIMC and must recommend the candidate for the 2016 edition. Contact information for the signatory of the letter must be clearly legible. In all cases, the document must be hand signed, then scanned or simply photographed with a cell phone.

One (1) copy of his/her passport (to be submitted later upon request)

NOTE: You must have a valid passport at all times. A copy will be requested upon confirmation of your participation in the quarter-finals.

Two (2) different high resolution color pics

One (1) biography in English and/or French

If possible, a list of recent and upcoming professional engagements

IMPORTANT NOTES FOR THE MAKING OF THE VIDEO:

Recordings must have been made within 18 months from the application deadline date.

Recordings must be UNEDITED (no cuts) and must only include piano accompaniment or played solo depending on the piece.

Every piece must be presented separately on YouTube. Each video must be named according to the work’s title.

The candidate’s face must be fully visible at all times on the screen; the camera angle must be fixed, and the microphones should be positioned to obtain a good sound quality.

The jury reserves the right to disqualify a candidate who would have submitted videos of poor sound quality.

There is no time limit for the videos.

It is very important to choose the UNLISTED video type on YouTube (and not the public or private type). This way, only the MIMC will be able to see your video. The video link (URL) must be copied and pasted in the field provided on the online application form. Example of a URL link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoWm7fMZBGM. The titles, place, and date of recording of each piece must also be copied and pasted in the field provided on the online application form.
